We love celebrating birthdays, and even better, capturing priceless moments on camera. Cake smash pictures are a great way to do this and using Savage Seamless Paper Backgrounds make these messy photo shoots a lot easier. When you’re done having fun, don’t even think about cleaning up sticky frosting everywhere, just cut off the dirty few feet of paper and toss it!
Check out these adorable photos from our friend Suzanne Merrill of Starr Photography with some of her favorite Savage Seamless Paper Backgrounds:
Little Tarzan in training here is pictured on our Mint Green Seamless Paper on the floor and Blue Mist Seamless Paper as the background. Who doesn’t love to monkey around at one year old?
Ahoy sailor! This super cute birthday boy is pictured on our Ultramarine Seamless Paper and Blue Mist Seamless Paper overlaid for a two-toned nautical look.
Say hello to this birthday princess who is celebrating on our Coral Seamless Paper. This picture really puts the frost in frosting!

What better way to jump into fall than jumping into your 1st cake? This charming fellow is photographed on our Pecan Seamless Paper.
Wave to this dapper one year old who looks strapping with his amazing cake on our Storm Gray Seamless Paper.
How often do you shoot cake smashes and what are some creative themes you’ve used?

Adorable images!
Hi Mike! Great question, probably your local big box or craft store like Target, Hobby Lobby, or Michaels!
Suzanne, I’d love to connect with you more on social media. I’m shooting a `1 year old ( twins) smash cake on Saturday, March 25, 2018. Wish me luck! I’ve been warned that one of the twins just started crawling and will not sit still.
